Jeddah – October 14, 2026 -- The rooftop pool at the Hilton Garden Inn in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, passed post-commissioning testing with walls on the floor below found almost entirely dry and no leakage detected beneath the slab, according to The Penetron Group. PENETRON ADMIX performed as a standalone waterproofing system, with no membrane required.

Penetron Middle East specified three integrated systems for the pool structure

The brief called for protecting the below-grade concrete structures and delivering a pool that stays watertight for the life of the building without a surface membrane, said Sam Annous, Director and Partner of Penetron Middle East. The team specified an integral approach combining three product groups:

Stockholm – October 14, 2026 -- SciBase Holding AB (STO: SCIB) has received its first positive medical policy for Nevisense from Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, which serves more than 7 million members across multiple US states. The decision moves eligible use of the skin-lesion device from a predominantly cash-pay model into covered care through a major private insurer.

Highmark policy applies to all commercial lines and opt-in self-funded groups

Highmark considers electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) medically necessary when a dermatologist is evaluating a clinically atypical suspicious pigmented lesion and is considering a biopsy. The procedure is reported under CPT code 0658T. The policy covers all Highmark commercial insured lines of business and self-funded (ASO) employer groups that elect it.

Coverage is limited to defined cases:

Belfast – October 14, 2026 -- Cumulus Neuroscience and Transpharmation Ltd. have formed a strategic partnership to align EEG and behavioral endpoints from preclinical models through first-in-human trials, targeting a therapeutic area where an estimated 6.7% of candidates progress from nonclinical development to FDA approval (Sertkaya et al., JAMA Netw Open, 2024).

Partners target the measurement break between animal studies and Phase 1

The two companies will jointly advise biopharma sponsors preparing for first-in-human studies. They will recommend which EEG paradigms to run preclinically based on how the same measures will be captured in the clinic. Each company will no longer scope its portion of a programme in isolation.

Maastricht – October 14, 2026 -- More than half of respondents to the MAPPA patient survey received a primary immunodeficiency (PID) diagnosis after age 18, and 28% reported permanent damage at the time of diagnosis, according to preliminary findings Kedrion Biopharma and AIP APS will present at ESID 2026.

MAPPA survey expands from Italy to Portugal, Spain and Turkey

The survey was developed by AIP APS, the Italian Association for Primary Immunodeficiencies, in collaboration with Kedrion. It collects real-world data on the experiences of people living with PIDs across Europe. The expansion from Italy to Portugal, Spain and Turkey is expected to provide new evidence on patient pathways, diagnostic journeys and unmet needs.

AIP APS President Alessandro Segato said that turning patient experiences into evidence helps identify shared needs that might otherwise remain unseen, and can strengthen diagnosis, care and support at a European level.

Cambridge – – October 14, 2026 -- TRI has released OPRA 26.2, an update to its risk-based quality management (RBQM) platform that adds an AI agent, RiskIQ, to draft protocol risk assessments. The release is available from October 14, 2026.

RiskIQ drafts Critical-to-Quality assessments from uploaded protocols

RiskIQ sits in OPRA's Protocol Insights module. It analyzes an uploaded protocol and generates a first-draft assessment of Critical-to-Quality (CtQ) factors, risks and their relationships. It works from each organization's own CtQ types and risk categories rather than generic templates.

Risk managers can edit, accept or reject every suggestion before promoting the result into OPRA as the initial risk assessment. No AI-generated content enters a live study automatically. Every decision is audit-logged and exportable.

RiskIQ is also available as a standalone application that works with any RBQM platform.

Dallas – October 14, 2026 -- Solidion Technology (NASDAQ: STI) says its PEAK Series uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system can cut UPS footprint by up to 30%, based on company testing, as it targets AI data center operators short on floor space.

PEAK Series uses a proprietary 5500 silicon-carbon anode cell

The PEAK Series is a UPS battery system built for AI data centers around Solidion's proprietary 5500 silicon-carbon anode cell. The company says the design is meant to free floor space that operators could otherwise use for servers and additional computing equipment.

Rising power density in AI facilities is increasing pressure on the systems that keep sites running during grid disruptions, according to the company. UPS batteries occupy space that could hold computing hardware and require periodic replacement.

London – October 14, 2026 -- Price reporting agency Argus has launched the first ticket price assessments for renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) used in Germany's road transport sector, giving the emerging renewable hydrogen market a new benchmark.

Assessments cover RFNBO hydrogen, e-methanol and e-methane

The assessments reflect the value of RFNBO hydrogen and of products made from it, including e-methanol and e-methane. These fuels can be used to meet Germany's greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction rules.

Germany has introduced a dedicated RFNBO quota for road transport. The quota creates a mandated market for renewable hydrogen and related products and raises demand for transparent, independent price references.

Vienna – October 14, 2026 -- Fibocom is showing a 5G-Advanced fixed wireless access (FWA) module that adds Upper 6GHz (U6G) support and delivers peak 5G downlink speeds of up to 10Gbps. The FG390-MEA-30 variant is on display at NetworkX 2026.

FG390-MEA-30 adds NR n104 and cross-band aggregation with Sub-6GHz

The module is built on MediaTek's 3GPP Release 18 T930 platform. It supports NR n104 and works alongside Sub-6GHz bands through carrier aggregation combinations including CA_n41A-n104A and CA_n78A-n104A. Fibocom says pairing U6G bandwidth with established Sub-6GHz coverage raises throughput while keeping connectivity reliable.

The module targets customer premises equipment (CPE), outdoor units (ODUs) and enterprise gateways. Fibocom says it simplifies product development, streamlines certification and shortens time to market.
